Random thoughts after rewatching Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 3
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 3 twice. 7/10. This was a sleepwalking lady's story. OK, I didn't notice at first, but Jinshi got a letter from the military officer, so he suspected Concubine Fuyou had lied. And that was the reason he wasn't convinced by Maomao's suggestion. So, he wanted to make sure and tried to work out what kind of person Maomao was.

Random thoughts after rewatching Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 2
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 2 twice. 6/10. Maomao was too smart when she figured out the issue. Honestly, there could've been a lot of reasons why people could've been poisoned, not only the smoke from the firewood. Or maybe actually not? It actually sounds weird that many people fell ill after they ate something, so the poison must have spread easily, and it must have happened while or right after they ate dinner at the camp. Also, they had nausea and other symptoms that were able to help her figure it out. And it happened at night, so that might've been another reason why she was able to figure it out. Well, she said it was just her own opinion.

Random thoughts after rewatching Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 1
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 1 twice. 7/10. I watched it until the middle of season 2, but this was a complex story so I wanted to start again from the beginning and understand it better. First of all, the voice actress for Maomao, Aoi Yuki, was so good. How she speaks changes so much with her emotions, even in normal scenes. It showed Maomao's character, too.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 4
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 4 twice. 7/10. New things started slowly, as this series always does. Geese and Talhand left the place because they were adventurers. I forgot but Roxy was in a party with them so she was also kind to them. And it seems Elinalise would have a wedding with Cliff too, and maybe she was also going to settle there?

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 3
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 3 twice. 7/10. This episode was from Rudeus's point of view, and it picked up after the last episode of season 2. This episode was about a regular, peaceful life. Nothing exciting. Just a normal day as ever. It was funny, and I was relieved, that he still called Roxy his Deity. I thought he stopped at the end of season 2, but he still treated her as his master and his Deity. That was the first word I'd heard from him this season.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 2
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 2 twice. 7/10. This episode was again from the point of view of Eris, or rather, Nina. It seemed Nina spent her whole life on swords, and I guess because of that, she hated losing to Eris. She even tried to find and meet Rudeus because she didn't want to admit he was real, or because she somehow thought she could've beaten him. But after seeing him, it looked like she changed her mind, and her opinion of Eris changed a little. Probably because he was so exceptional and she couldn't imagine even Eris catching up with him. So she might've felt Eris's goal was impossible and the hurdle was too high. It also showed how she and the other members of the Sword God Style didn't know the outside world.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 1
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 1 twice. 8/10. This episode was completely from Eris's point of view. I actually knew this part of the story because I think I read the manga for it. So I knew what Eris thought and why she left Rudeus behind, but I didn't remember the details. It was great how desperate she was and she really wanted to be strong. Honestly, she wasn't the type of girl who talks a lot, so I just needed to watch and feel. But after watching it back, I noticed she followed what the Sword God said and did what he instructed her to do. Also, I thought Ghislaine had gone back somewhere because she didn't train Eris, but she was in the Sword God's house. I wondered why. But maybe she followed what her master, the Sword God, said.

First thoughts after watching I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Episode 12
This note includes a spoiler. I watched I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 12. And this was the last episode of season 1. This episode was 6/10, and the entire season was 8/10. This was a great romance anime. This episode covered a few events for Maki and Umi before closing the season, and also showed there might be a next season. The last episode ended at the beginning of the year, but this episode showed Valentine's Day, White Day, and Umi's birthday. On Valentine's Day, what I thought was that Maki's cooking skill was actually good, so how could she give him a chocolate he would be satisfied with? And in this episode, it was revealed that Umi's cooking skill was not good, or at least she didn't cook often. So she tried to cook something difficult and challenging from the beginning, and failed to do it. I thought Maki should help her make the chocolate together, and he did it so I was kinda satisfied with this small touch.

First thoughts after watching I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Episode 11
This note includes a spoiler. I watched I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 11. 7/10. This episode was on the day after Maki and Umi started dating, and Maki caught a cold and stayed at Umi's house for a week until the end of the year. What was good was, unlike typical anime, Umi didn't get a cold. If this were another anime, then Maki's cold would have infected her too. It was great it didn't go that way.

First thoughts after watching Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 24 (season 2, episode 12)
This post includes a spoiler. I watched Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 24 twice. 5/10. Story was 3/5, animation was 3/5, voices and audio were 3/5. This episode was the last episode of season 2, and it was more like cooling down than a hot fighting episode. The most unexpected thing was that Will didn't join the ice faction. I completely expected him to be there, so it was a total surprise to me. At the same time, it made sense, since this way the story can involve not only Elfie but also other Magia Vanders or people in other factions. I thought Will would have the final say on which faction he would join, but from Aaron's perspective, his will counted for nothing.
